Adele~

He exhaled, eyes narrowing slightly as he closed the distance and draped the coat over me. “I’m not deflecting.”

“Yes, you are.” My voice cracked, anger and ache colliding inside me. “Is it so hard to be clear with what you want? One minute, I matter to you, the next, I don't.”

“You're my wife, that should—”

“There, that right there is the problem, Detroit West!” I pushed his chest, but he didn't budge, and God! That frustrated the hell out of me.

“I know that our marriage or whatever this is, was a contract. I understand that I shouldn't ask for anything.” I nodded, holding back my tears. “Yeah, you don't want me to love you, you don't love me either. I get it. But what exactly did you marry me for?”

I continued, “I remembered you said this marriage was for the public, right?” I chuckled self-deprecatingly, “Stupid me forgot you don't have a public life, so, tell me, Detroit West, why did you marry me?”

Why would a man who never showed himself in public, not even a photo, m

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Self Sabotage (5)

    Adele~ The crowd stirred again. Someone whispered, “Wait… is that on video?” And immediately, her phone was raised to join those who were already recording. Julia’s mask cracked. She spun wildly. “Stop filming me!” Too late. Her tantrum was already caught on camera now. Who knows if anyone was doing live streaming? “This is bad,” Sophie mumbled, looking anxious now. I could see the manager wanting to massage his temple. Even if he wanted to take Julia's side because she was more popular and powerful than I was, in the face of so many people and cameras, he wouldn't dare. “I would have pulled up the camera and seen what really happened, but the CCTV camera in this VIP area went out of service this morning. We were waiting for the technician. Ms. Julia is a public figure, she knows the public rules and I'm sure she wouldn't blow up unless triggered.” The manager said carefully, though his forced smile was already cracking under pressure. Just when I thought he couldn't take

    Adele~My voice cut through the air like glass.Julia’s mouth clamped shut. Audrey’s eyes darted nervously, and Sophie looked like she wished the ground would swallow her whole. For a second, it was as if the entire booth stilled – and I felt that even the music from the speakers dimmed beneath the weight of what I had just said.I stepped back a bit, letting my words land sharp and deliberate.“You're not my rival, Julia,” I said, my voice low and steely. “You're just a poorly stitched knockoff. And the problem with knockoffs? They fall apart under pressure.”She stood frozen, trembling with anger, embarrassment, shame… I didn't care to know. “And if you ever, ever speak about my man like that again,” I added, tone shifting like ice cracking, “I won’t just shred your pride, I’ll shred your reputation. You’ve seen what I can do with pencils. Don’t make me show you what I can do with lives.”That did it.She exploded. “How dare you threaten me!” she screamed, startling her minions. “

    Adele~I didn't want to believe that Detroit would abandon me like this but he did and it broke my heart more than I was willing to admit. How wouldn't it? He brought me out here. He should be protecting me as my husband, but no, he let me handle these vultures myself, which I incredibly appreciated but…I bit the inside of my mouth to feel the sting and stop the tear that was threatening the corner of my eyes. Well, fuck him. I know my way back to the resort. I told myself and finally turned fully to Julia. “Are you done performing, or should I press—”Splash! I frozeThe fruity aroma of my red wine hit me before the chill did. I looked down in shock, watching the red stain bloom across my floral chiffon blouse like a rose carved from fury. My hand lifted, fingers brushing over my chest, wet and ruined. The tips came away crimson.For a second, I couldn’t even react. The shock of it held me in place like I was a statue carved from disbelief and fury.Slowly, I blinked the liquid

    Adele ~“Adele, didn’t mean it that way. I was just congratulating you.” Julia bit her lip and lowered her eyes, all soft lashes and fake remorse. “Audrey, Sophie, that was not nice, apologize to Adele.”She sounded like a victim of bully. If I didn’t know her better, I would’ve believed her. But I did know her. However, what I didn't understand was why she was acting this way. The two girls glanced at her then muttered some form of apology, their eyes sliding sideways like guilty schoolgirls. I didn’t even look at them. My eyes stayed locked on Julia.“I didn't know I'd meet you here, but congratulations on your success, Adele. You've come a long way and truly deserve this win.” Okay, I was genuinely out of touch with where she was going with this. This woman who snatched my husband and son, came to my resort weeks ago and tried to ruin my launch, was suddenly singing my praises like we were old friends from boarding school?I blinked at her, unsure if I’d stepped into a parallel u

    Detroit ~Places like this didn't please him but he came here anyway, to please Adele. Or was it? Sitting across from her, watching her eat her meal quietly, the corner of his mouth curled. It had become his new hobby to see her blush, happy, outspoken, and be herself. And he needed her like this. Open. Relaxed. Happy. Just for a little while longer.Because once she realized just how many eyes were on her, how many traps were closing in on her, she wouldn't smile like this again for a long time.Just like Elias warned him and like he already knew, bringing Adele into his world had put her in danger. And not the kind of danger Detroit could brush off.And the kind of danger she was in now wasn’t because she stepped into his world. It was because his world stepped into hers.There were more than three groups watching her from different angles. The night they made up, he’d sighted bugs planted outside her apartment window but pretended he didn't see them and acted out a broken, loving

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Destroying Ryan

    Ryan~Ryan sat alone in his hotel suite at Luxehaven, staring at the blinking screen of his tablet. Another notification. Another disaster. He didn’t even open it. He already knew what it’d say.More trouble. More fire.It was like everything he built – public, secret, illegal – was falling apart, one piece at a time.Few days ago, a fire suddenly broke out in MFR Resort, that dummy beach resort. A place he used to launder money and hide certain people when needed. The east wing burned down. No suspects. No footage. Just smoke and fire. He managed to keep the news under wrap and away from the public but he lost more than just money. Then came the issue at Skyrise, his fancy penthouse service in the Northern region. Some nosy journalist stayed for two nights, then suddenly dropped a whole damn report online. Said there were unlicensed rebuilds, health code violations, and even hinted that high-class escort services ran through the suites. That news spread fast, in the whole of North.
